  12. MAJOR PROJECT MAP COMPOSITE MAP OF ARTERIAL PROJECTS NOTE: These 400 to 500 intersections have all been modeled by various corridor projects and about 150 are currently proposed to be improved.

  13. ADDITIONAL 91/605/405 TRAFFIC MODEL RUNS and FURTHER ANALYSIS SUMMARY To understand the impacts of other transportation projects , the following 91/605/405 Traffic Model Runs were also prepared. • Traffic Model Runs Completed: • - Existing • - No Build 2035 • - No Build 2035 plus North/South • I-710 Freight Corridor and • East/West Freight Corridor • - 2035 No Build Plus Multimodal • Improvements • - 2035 No Build Plus Various • Express Lane Alternatives • - 2035 Improvement Concept “A” • - 2035 Improvement Concept “B” • - 2035 Improvement Concept “C” • - Multi-Modal Run • - Arterial Improvement Concepts 91/605/405 Initial Model Run Analysis Summary for Concept “A” Only Arterial VMT & Delay -3% -1% -4% -9% DELAY (HRS-1000’s) VMT (1000’s)

  14. 91/605/405 TRAFFIC MODEL RUN SUMMARY NOTEBOOK WAS PREPARED The traffic model runs were conducted to evaluate the potential benefits and impacts associated with implementing known and a “maximum potential” set of multi-modal improvements in addition to geometric improvements to the freeways. • 18 official traffic model runs completed • Many more “testing” traffic runs conducted • Model runs focused on: • - No-build baseline scenario • - Concepts A, B and C geometrics • - Express Lanes • - HOV Connectors • - Multi-modal investments • - ITS • - Freight Corridor and other • freight improvements Specifically: How will the freeway and arterial system operate with the inclusion of the maximum potential combination of other transportation improvements and programs?

  15. MULTI-MODAL IMPROVEMENTS TRAFFIC MODEL RUNS and UNCONSTRAINED TRANSIT CONTEXT MULTI-MODAL IMPROVEMENTS TRAFFIC MODEL RUNS UNCONSTRAINED TRANSIT CONTEXT The traffic model runs were conducted to evaluate the potential benefits and impacts associated with implementing known and a “maximum potential” set of multi-modal improvements in addition to freeways geometric improvements. • Study Area has low transit services as • compared to rest of L.A. County • Study Area trip growth from Existing-to-2035 • No Build is approximately 10% • A few major transit projects are planned for • Study Area Specifically: how will the freeway and arterial system operate with the inclusion of the maximum potential combination of other improvements and programs? QUESTION: What effect will transit improvements have on Study Area congestion?

  16. MULTI-MODAL STUDY OBJECTIVES To fully understand impacts of other transportation projects as part of the 91/605/405 study, the multi-modal study was prepared. The multi-modal study assessed the existing, future or potential capabilities of alternative modes of transportation with the following objectives: • To reduce or relieve or impact traffic on freeway and arterial • facilities • and to • Understand the relationships among various multi-modal • improvements and the freeway and arterial systems

  17. MULTI-MODAL IMPROVEMENTS POTENTIAL FOR OTHER MODES TO AFFECT TRAVEL Multi-Modal Analysis Included: Definition of Trip Types Studied • Internal Trips – Trips with one or both ends within Gateway Cities study area such as someone who lives/works/shops here. • Through Trips – Trips which pass through Gateway Cities study area without stopping – generally on the freeway, but could also be on some arterials. • Passenger Rail Projects • - California High Speed Rail (HSR) (new service) • - Pacific Electric Right of Way/West Santa Ana • Branch Transit Line (new service) • - Metrolink (service improvements) • -Amtrak (service improvements) • -Metro Gold Line LRT East Extension Phase II • Bus Service Expansion • Non-Motorized Transportation (Pedestrian/Bicycle) Usage • New HOV-HOV Connectors • Express Lanes (High Occupancy/Toll (HOT) Managed Lanes) • Freight Related Transportation Improvements(SCIG, ICTF and East/West freight corridor are included in Run 20, but not Run 19) • Transportation Demand Management • Intelligent Transportation Systems Note: Various multi-modal improvements affect internal vs. through trips differently Three Types of Outcomes • Reducing “internal” auto trips via shifting them to other modes or eliminating them • Reducing “through”auto trips via shifting them to other modes. • Shift trips to other facilities (e.g. truck/freight corridors, HOV lanes) from general purpose freeway lanes and reducing vehicle delay (Intelligent Transportation Systems or Toll Facilities).

  18. WHAT ARE THE MAJOR NON-ROADWAY PROJECTS? • Improvements to existing transit service (bus, commuter rail) • Potential major capital investment: • Gold Line Eastside Extension: $1.65 Billion • Green Line Norwalk Extension: $360 million • High-Speed Rail (plus Metrolink and Amtrak) • PEROW • Other major transit projects fall outside study area • Travel Demand Management • Gateway SCS: has potential for 8% reduction in employee commute trips which results in reduction of total trips ~1%

  19. WHAT ARE THE MODELING RESULTS FOR MAXIMUM INVESTMENTS IN OTHER TRANSPORTATION MODES? FREEWAY RESULTS Model Run 19 shows these results: • Combined Benefit to Delay = 18% to 22% • over 2035 baseline (No-build) • Thus, up to 22% reduction in overall vehicle • delay on freeways • About half of reduction due to Concept B, • half due to other multi-modal improvements • Serve 6% more Vehicle Miles Travelled • Test freeway concepts with other regional improvements • Run 19: • - Concept A Highway Improvements, plus • - Maximum investment in other modes and programs FREEWAYS VMT DELAY +6% -9% +6% -19%

  20. WHAT ARE THE MODELING RESULTS FOR MAXIMUM INVESTMENTS IN OTHER TRANSPORTATION MODES? (continued) ARTERIALS Model Run 19 results: VMT DELAY -9% -4% -6% -18% • Combined Benefit to Delay = 18% to 22% • over 2035 baseline (No-build) • Thus, up to 22% reduction in overall vehicle • delay on freeways • About 10% of reduction due to Concept B, • half due to other multi-modal improvements • Reduces Arterial Vehicle Miles Travelled by up to 8% ARTERIAL RESULTS

  21. SUMMARY - MULTI-MODAL IMPROVEMENTS ALTERNATIVE MODE POTENTIAL AUTO TRIP REDUCTION Auto Trips Reduced 6.4% 2035 No-Build Study Area Mode Split 2035 with Maximum Investment Study Area Mode Split 2035 Potential for Alternative Modes to Reduce Daily Study Area Trips (Max. Invest.) Potential Auto Trip Reduction from Other Modes *Rail Transit less the shift from bus transit

  22. SUMMARY - MULTI-MODAL IMPROVEMENTS TRAFFIC MODEL RUNS • Rail Transit: 1.0% • Bus Transit: -0.4% • Non-Motorized: 5.2% • TDM: 0.6% • Total = 6.4% 2035 “Internal” Auto Trips Reduced by Alternative Modes (Max. Invest.) • Amtrak: 0.4% • Metrolink: 5.9% • California HSR: 2.9% • PEROW: 4.6% • Total = 9.0% • AllDaily Through • Trips = 650,000 Amtrak Metrolink CAHSR PEROW/ WSAB 2035“Through” Trips Reduced by Other Modes (Max. Invest.) CAHSR PEROW/ WSAB Amtrak Metrolink

  23. MULTI-MODAL STUDY CONCLUSIONS • Maximum Multi-Modal Investment could reduce future “internal” auto trips by approximately 6%. • Largest reduction due to increase in walk and bike. • Walk and bike are local trips and do not reduce freeway volumes. • Through trips could be reduced by 9% (~60,000 daily trips) due to Amtrak, Metrolink, HSR, PEROW. • N/S Freight Corridor could potentially reduce up to 10,000 trucks off of SR-91, up to 13,000 trucks off of I-605, and up to 5,000 trucks off of I-105. • Transit station expansion will impact local streets while facilitating transit usage. CONCLUSIONS

  24. POTENTIAL TRANSIT HOT SPOTS • Potential Hot Spots for Analysis • Growth in transit ridership • Potential demand for parking • Access issues • Surrounding land use considerations

  25. POTENTIAL TRANSIT HOT SPOTS (continued) • I-605/Washington Boulevard: future Gold Line Extension Station • I-105/I-605: Existing termination of Green Line • Norwalk/Santa Fe Springs Station: • Metrolink • High Speed Rail • Green Line Extension

  26. NEXT STEPS NEXT STEPS • Complete Phase I Strategic Transportation Plan • (completed 2012) • -List of all transportation projects • - Qualitative analysis of inter-relationships between major transportation projects • - Funding sources development and evaluation • Begin Phase II Strategic Transportation Plan • (to be completed in 2013) • - Traffic Modeling (micro-simulation combined with travel demand projects) for all of Gateway Cities • • At least 25 traffic model runs (for all transportation projects and various combinations of options) • - Develop funding / financing plan for transportation projects • - Complete by end of 2013 (or early 2014) • - Use as tool for transportation coordination between all transportation projects • and for sustainability analyses and coordination
